Vancouver Infidelity & Cheating Counsellors
We did not evolve from monogamy. Sex between Stone Age partners was common as women bartered for favours and men reproduced with multiple partners to spread their genes. It wasn’t until the 19th century that love became the primary reason for marriage and partnerships became a lifetime commitment.
But blaming infidelity/cheating on human history or making excuses isn’t okay if we’re in a relationship where monogamy is expected. Today, sex in a partnership is a symbol of love and commitment. To be cheated on by your partner can feel like a devastating deception, while cheating on your partner will lead to their contempt if they find out (and could be a huge burden of guilt if they don’t). In either case, getting over infidelity/cheating is a challenge and, for some, near impossible.
The wrong way to handle it is to suppress your emotions and continue to cheat, or to blow up at your cheating partner. The right way to handle infidelity/cheating is to engage professional help, such as counselling for men’s mental health, and work through your feelings of guilt or betrayal and define what type of relationship you want with your partner.
The Stress of Infidelity
Whether you’re a cheater or cheated, infidelity is stressful. Regardless of whether you’re lying to your spouse or you’re dealing with betrayal, the stress you’re feeling can cause anxiety, depression, or grief, which in turn can negatively impact your physical and mental wellbeing in a number of ways:
01 Physical
- Tired but can’t sleep
- Recurring headaches
- Neck and lower back pain
- Chest pains
- Sexual dysfunction
- Skin rashes and hives
02 Behavioural & Emotional
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse
- Violence
- Homicidal thoughts
- Lack of impulse control
Surviving Infidelity Using Therapy For Help
To help you make sense of infidelity, we’ll first look at its root cause, whether it’s an individual risk factor like hormones, sex addiction, substance abuse, or lack of behavioural control; a relationship issue such as emotional disconnection or unfulfilling sex life; or a situational reason like a job where a person spends a lot of one-on-one time with a co-worker. We’ll then use counselling and coaching to create a plan of action that addresses your issues with infidelity.

Honest Talk
It’s a refreshing way of looking at myself. I’ve tried counselling before, but this is more honest. More objective. More real.

Practical Approach.
Less “Lay back in this chair and talk for 12 months” and more “let’s talk about about you.” and then setting a game plan to work towards feeling better.
